Parenting Programs

Keeping your children safe

While it is important that your child gets to spend good quality time with both parents after you separate, it should be done in a safe manner.

Separated couples with an infant child need to know that their baby is safe when not in their care. Some new parents may benefit from working out how to establish a routine so they feel more organised when caring for their baby. People may want to learn how to set up the house as safely as possible, how to settle baby and so forth. Confident parenting can make the difference between enjoying the time with your baby or spending the time stressing out (which even infants can pick up on).
